Apple Mac Screen Replacement Cost — your questions answered
How long does a MacBook screen replacement take?
Most MacBook Air and 13-inch Pro models are completed in one to three business days once the correct panel arrives. 14-inch and 16-inch Liquid Retina XDR models usually require three to five business days because the mini-LED assemblies are ordered to match the exact serial-number configuration.
Can you replace just the glass on my iMac if the LCD still works?
Yes. On 21.5-inch and 27-inch iMacs where the underlying panel shows no damage we perform a glass-only replacement for $480-$680. The process involves carefully separating the cracked glass layer and bonding a new OEM-spec sheet with optically clear adhesive while the Mac remains assembled.
Is it worth repairing an older 2015 MacBook Pro screen or should I buy new?
A 13-inch 2012-2015 Retina screen costs $640-$880 fitted. If the rest of the machine still meets your needs and the battery health is above 80 percent, replacement remains economical compared with purchasing a current model.
Do you use genuine Apple screens or aftermarket panels?
We fit OEM-spec panels sourced through authorised distribution channels that match Apple part numbers for brightness, colour gamut and True Tone calibration. Each screen is tested for dead pixels and uniformity before the machine is returned.
Will replacing the screen affect my Mac warranty or AppleCare?
Independent repair does not void remaining Apple warranty on unaffected components, but any subsequent Apple-authorised service may note the non-Apple screen. We provide a 90-day warranty on parts and labour for the work we perform.
